Personal Growth Top Secret. The Major Key to Your Better Future Is YOU!

I have to say it again. I love Personal and professional development.

I think that’s one of the reasons that I decided to start my own online home based business after many years in the corporate financial services sector, I studied business coaching and now use my skills as an online home business coach to assist others with there own personal development and also professional to achieve personal success in their own home based business.

This brings me back to my message for today, for those of you who have read some of my previous posts will know that I am a Jim Rohn fan, and love to share his insights with others who find themselves in a position similar to mine.

Perhaps you’re starting out in a new venture , a new online home business, or perhaps you’re transitioning between jobs , may be you’re looking for a home business opportunity which ever way this wonderful piece of literature by Jim says it all. I’ve taken many gold nuggets from this piece that will continue to provide the encouragement and motivation I need to ensure my continued home business success. I trust that you to will find that special golden nugget that ignites a spark within you.

The Major Key to Your Better Future Is YOU by Jim Rohn

Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe personal growth is the greatest. We can talk about sales growth, profit growth, asset growth, but all of this probably will not happen without personal growth. It’s really the open door to it all. In fact I’d like to have you memorize a most important phrase. Here it is, “The major key to your better future is YOU.”

Let me repeat that. “The major key to your better future is YOU.” Put that someplace you can see it every day, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, at the office, anywhere where you can see it every day. The major key to your better future is YOU. Try to remember that every day you live and think about it. The major key is YOU.

Now, there are many things that will help your better future. If you belong to a strong, dynamic, progressive company, that would help. If the company has good products and services you are proud of, that would certainly help. If there were good sales aids, that would help, good training would certainly help. If there is strong leadership, that will certainly help. All of these things will help, and of course, if it doesn’t storm, that will help. If your car doesn’t break down, that will help. If the kids don’t get sick, that will help. If the neighbors stay halfway civil, that will help. If your relatives don’t bug you, that will help. If it isn’t too cold, if it isn’t too hot, all those things will help your better future. And if prices don’t go much higher and if taxes don’t get much heavier, that will help. And if the economy stays stable, those things will all help. We could go on and on with the list; but remember this, the list of things that I’ve just covered and many more—all put together—play a minor role in your better future.

The major key to your better future is you. Lock your mind onto that. This is a super-important point to remember. The major key is you. A friend of mine has always answered when asked, “How do you develop an above-average income?” by saying, “Simple. Become an above-average person. Work on you.” My friend says, “Develop an above-average handshake.” He says, “A lot of people want to be successful, and they don’t even work on their handshake. As easy as that would be to start, they let it slide. They don’t understand.” My friend says, “Develop an above-average smile. Develop an above-average excitement. Develop an above-average dedication. Develop an above-average interest in other people.” He says, “To have more, become more.” Remember; work harder on yourself than you do on your job. For a long time in my life, I didn’t have this figured out.

Strangely enough, with two different people in the same network marketing company, one may earn an extra $100 a month, and the other may earn a $1,000. What could possibly be the difference? If the products were the same, if the training was the same, if they both had the same literature, the same tools. If they both had the same teacher, the same compensation plan, if they both attended the same meetings, why would one person earn the $100 per month and the other person earn the $1000?

Remember, here is the difference: The difference is personal—inside, not outside, inside.

You see the real difference is inside you. In fact, the difference IS you. Someone once said, “The magic is not in the products. The magic is not in the literature. The magic is not in the film. There isn’t a magic meeting, but the magic that makes things better is inside you.” And personal growth makes this magic work for you.

The magic is in believing. The magic is in daring. The magic is in trying. The real magic is in persevering. The magic is in accepting. It’s in working. The magic is in thinking. There is magic in a handshake. There is magic in a smile. There is magic in excitement and determination. There is real magic in compassion and caring and sharing. There is unusual magic in strong feeling. You see, all that comes from inside, not outside. So the difference is inside you. The real difference is you. You are the major key to your better future. ~Jim Rohn.

Isn’t that a magical thought?

I love that – to know that I am able to choose the way in which I do things, and by doing just that extra bit daily, weekly , monthly I am able to create for my self a better future. That by adding that extra bit I can continue to grow from within, touching lives with my coaching and taking control of my own financial future rather that leave it in the hands of someone else.

Did I mention that I just love personal and professional development! 😀

    Brenda this is a wonderful article about a very important subject. I love the quote by Jim Rohn” “The major key to your better future is YOU.” I have learned this the hard way but I finally did learn it. I had to figure it out for myself but once I got the personal development bug I could not and will not stop. I heard someone else say it in a different way but it is essentially the same thing. They said if you can not have empathy and understanding of yourself how can you have that for other people. If you do not know yourself you cannot understand how and why other people think and do things. I actually just did a video today and this subject came up. I will be posting it this week. Thanks again Brenda 🙂

      Your welcome Dean , Thank you for your wonderful appreciative comment, and I agree once the personal development bug has bitten ….. well as they say the rest is history. I cannot imagine anyone not wanting to improve and develop themselves.

    Hi Brenda, did I read somewhere that you love personal development…? (lol…couldn’t resist). This is a great post that exudes your passion for self growth and growth in others. The truth is your income will grow only to the extent that you grow. We are growth seeking beings having a physical experience and only need to look inside of ourselves to reflect our full potential. I believe that god, spirit, the divine, universal intelligence (whatever floats your boat) would not have given you the ability to think the thought without the wherewithal to accomplish the deed. If you don’t go within you go without… personal development is the answer.

    I agree, trying to build an mlm business without personal development is like eating cereal without milk. Sure it tastes good and you can eat it but it is far less tasty than the whole experience. Now I am hungry! Thanks for this fantastic post Brenda.

    I totally agree with the article. I always believed a major factor in success is self confidence, the power to believe YOU can do what needs to be done, without outside influences and without doubts.
    Don’t look at others, look inside yourself and get to work.
